Thou shalt have no other gods before me.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

Surrender / Testimony:

Rev 20:4 I saw thrones on which were seated those who had been given authority to judge. And I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded because of their testimony about Jesus and because of the word of God. They had not worshiped the beast or its image and had not received its mark on their foreheads or their hands. They came to life and reigned with Christ a thousand years.

I shared my personal testimony about my youth, teenage and young adult years. An invitation to church from a coworker where we had communion changed my life. I went to seminary, met my wife and decided Knoxville would be a great place to raise a family.

Luke 12:11-12
When you are brought before synagogues, rulers and authorities, do not worry about how you will defend yourselves or what you will say, for the Holy Spirit will teach you at that time what you should say.
Matthew 10:19-20
But when they arrest you, do not worry about what to say or how to say it. At that time you will be given what to say, for it will not be you speaking, but the spirit of your Father speaking through you.
Exodus 4:10-12
Moses said to the Lord, “Pardon your servant, Lord. I have never been eloquent, neither in the past nor since you have spoken to your servant. I am slow of speech and tongue.” The Lord said to him, “Who gave human beings their mouths? Who makes them deaf or mute? Who gives them sight or makes them blind? Is it not I, the Lord? Now go; I will help you speak and will teach you what to say.”

COUNT-OFF & NAME-O-RAMA
8 strong this morning:  Booster, Waxjob, Neutron, Scrum, Snaggletooth, Sweeper, Trolley, Bartman

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

Today’s workout was all about how to get from Point A to Point B.  In life we are usually focused on getting to “Point B” as quickly as possible.  “Point B” can be anything:  new job, more money, success, popularity, etc.  I reminded the group this morning that sometimes we need to slow down and enjoy the ride.  Take the long route, enjoy your current situation, stop & smell the roses.   Some of those are metaphorical and some are literal, regardless the point is that we don’t always need to be sprinting in a straight line at all times.  There are times to sprint, and there are times to stroll.  Pay attention and try to know the difference to prevent yourself from getting burnt out.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:

I’m a worrier.  I have been for as long as I can remember.  I’m not pessimistic at all…I’m a glass is half full kind of guy.  However, I worry.  Am I doing enough for my kids, particularly my 15-year old daughter?  Am I too strict, not strict enough? Do I support my wife enough?  Will I hurt my knee even worse and not be able to run in the ½ marathon in 3 weeks?  Am I overtraining/undertraining?  Will I raise enough money to help all of the cancer patients that need help or will I have to cut programs?

Lots of verses to help with my/our worries…

  • So let’s not get tired of doing what is good. At just the right time we will reap a harvest of blessing if we don’t give up. Galatians 6:9
  • But they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint.  (Isaiah 40:28-31)
  • Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Matthew 11:28
  • Cast all your anxiety on Him because he cares for you. 1 Peter 5:7
  • Look to the Lord and his strength; seek his face always. Psalm 105:4
  • Trust in the Lord with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make your paths straight. Proverbs 3:5-6
  • Cast your cares on the Lord, and He will sustain you; He will never let the righteous fall. Psalm 55:22
  • I can do everything through him who gives me strength. Philippians 4:13
  • So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand. Isaiah 41:10
